Elizabeth Benton, born c 1642, the wife of Samuel Davis, Jr., was not the daughter of John Benton and Joane UNKNOWN. The wives of Samuel, Jr., and Samuel, Sr., have been confused. The daughter of John and Joane Benton was born about 1612 in England, married Samuel, Sr., in England, had two children born there, Samuel, Jr. and John Davis. Elizabeth and her sons were transported to Virginia about1642 along with her father John Benton, his wife, Joane, and Elizabeth's siblings John, Isabell, Alice, and Abigall Benton.

This Elizabeth is being unlinked from John Benton and Joane UNKNOWN. Her surname is not Benton and research should be done to locate a correct name or it should be changed to Unknown.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was aware of some mix-up in Davis generations, but had set that aside for a while after I adopted this orphan. I will do more research. My tree currently has my ancestor Tamer Davis Creech as daughter of the older Davis generation, but that would make her mother 46 at the time of birth. I will resolve Elizabeth's parents after I straighten out my tree.

I first focused on my ancestor Tamer Davis Creech to determine her parents. All 4 ancestry trees, and Genie has her parents as the older generation, but not good sources for parents. Myheritage had little info on her parents. However, the morman site agreed with current wikitree and had two good sources.
